## Company Background
Cycode is the leading AI-Native Application Security Platform that secures AI development from prompt to production. Founded in 2019, Cycode combines the industry’s most precise proprietary scanners with complete code-to-runtime context to help organizations identify, prioritize, and fix the software risks that matter.
Cycode’s platform is purpose-built for the AI era. It combines Application Security Testing (AST), Software Supply Chain Security (SSCS), and Application Security Posture Management (ASPM) to provide instant-on coverage and control of software security – whether that software is written by human developers, AI, or both. Cycode unifies visibility, powers risk-based prioritization, and automates remediation workflows and reporting.Â
At the core of Cycode’s platform is the Risk Intelligence Graph (RIG). The RIG maps and correlates code to runtime security signals across the entire SDLC to deliver a clear view of risk posture and accelerate secure software delivery powered by AI capabilities that pinpoint exploitable vulnerabilities and generate fixes before risks ever reach production.Â
Cycode is consistently recognized by industry analysts like Gartner, IDC, Gigaom, and Frost & Sullivan as one of the leading application security testing, software supply chain, and application security posture management companies. In September 2025, IDC named Cycode a Leader in 2025 IDC’s ASPM Marketscape. In October 2025, Gartner included Cycode in the 2025 Magic Quadrant for Application Security Testing and ranked Cycode #1 and #2 in Software Supply Chain Security and ASPM use cases, respectively, in their Critical Capabilities for Application Security Testing report.Â

AI-Native Application Security Platform
AI Risk Intelligence Graph (RIG) Agent: The “brain” of the platform, providing traceability across the entire SDLC and powering intelligent risk scoring and context.
AI Change Impact Analysis (CIA) Agent: Groundbreaking technology to proactively assess the security impact of every code change, automating manual risk assessment workflows.
AI Exploitability Analysis Agent: A first-of-its-kind capability that automates the difficult and time-consuming task of exploitability analysis for vulnerabilities (CVEs) and code weaknesses (CWEs). The agent emulates highly-skilled security engineers and security champions to determine if a security finding is exploitable in the specific application and usage or whether it is mitigated by a security control or other factor.Â
AI Remediation Agent: Leverages AI to generate secure code fixes for SAST and IaC violations. Adoption of AI remediation is correlated with 17X higher 90-day close rates for critical and high violations. AI remediation for containers correlates vulnerable container images to the root cause in code and provides step-by-step remediation instructions.
AI & ML Governance: A complete inventory of AI and machine learning technologies throughout the SDLC, including AI coding assistants, AI infrastructure, AI models, and MCP servers. Uncovers shadow AI and enables visibility and governance into AI usage.
Application Security Testing
Static Application Security Testing (SAST): Cycode SAST delivers industry-leading precision with 94% fewer false positives than popular commercial and open-source alternatives, according to OWASP benchmark tests. Cycode SAST provides instant-on deployment with cross-file and cross-function analysis as well as AI remediation and fix suggestions that developers can review and implement in the IDE, CLI, and Pull Request workflow.Â
Software Composition Analysis (SCA): Cycode SCA provides instant-on deployment and reachability analysis to identify vulnerabilities in open-source dependencies.Â
Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Cycode scans for vulnerable misconfigurations in IaC files and provides AI remediation fixes.
Container: Cycode’s Container security capabilities provide comprehensive protection by scanning for vulnerable misconfigurations in container images, correlating back to the root cause in code, and offering AI remediation fixes. This ensures that potential security flaws are identified and addressed early in the development lifecycle.
Software Supply Chain Security & Secrets Security
Secrets: Industry-leading Secrets Engine that utilizes an advanced Machine Learning (ML) model and entropy analysis to detect generic and non-standard secrets with high accuracy, resulting in a significant reduction in false positives and false negatives compared to traditional regex-based tools. Cycode also delivers comprehensive secrets detection across the entire SDLC, detecting secrets in code repositories, CI/CD pipelines, IaC files, productivity tools, collaboration platforms, and more.Â
Code Leak Detection: Actively monitors and protects an organization’s proprietary source code from accidental exposure or malicious exfiltration. It scans internal and external repositories, including public code-hosting platforms and dark web forums, to identify instances where sensitive code might have been inadvertently published or intentionally leaked. By leveraging advanced pattern matching and contextual analysis, Cycode can quickly detect and alert security teams to potential code leaks, enabling swift remediation and minimizing the risk of intellectual property theft or compromise.
CI/CD Security: Cycode’s CI/CD security provides robust protection for the entire software development lifecycle, focusing on securing the critical build and deployment pipelines. It identifies and mitigates risks within CI/CD configurations, ensuring the integrity and security of the software delivery process from development to production. This helps prevent unauthorized access, configuration drift, and the injection of malicious code, thereby safeguarding the software supply chain.
Non-Human Identity Security (NHI): Correlates exposed secrets with Non-Human Identities (service accounts, API keys) to prioritize the riskiest exposures based on context and potential impact.
Application Security Posture Management
Risk Scoring: Cycode’s risk scoring algorithm leverages a combination of technical severity, business impact, and exploitability to provide precise and actionable insights into an organization’s security posture. Risk scoring works in tandem with AI Exploitability Analysis, AI Remediation, and workflow automation to shorten the lifecycle of exploitable risks that matter.Â
Cycode Projects & Organizational Hierarchies: Cycode Projects enable organizations to effectively manage their security posture by mapping assets to specific organizational hierarchies. This allows for tailored security controls and granular reporting on risk. Furthermore, it facilitates performance comparisons across various aspects of the business, helping identify areas of strength and weakness in security practices.
Reporting: Cycode’s platform provides comprehensive reporting capabilities, optimized for clear visibility into an organization’s security posture. Users can leverage out-of-the-box dashboards for immediate insights or create custom dashboards tailored to their specific needs. The platform also supports scheduled reports for ongoing monitoring and compliance-based reports to streamline adherence to various regulatory standards.
Third-Party Security Tools: Cycode’s 120+ integrations ensure comprehensive coverage across the entire SDLC. These integrations extend to the most popular third-party security tools, as well as SCMs, CI/CD platforms, cloud providers, and productivity tools. This extensive connectivity allows organizations to unify visibility and posture management, consolidating security data from disparate sources into Cycode’s platform for a complete view of their application security landscape.
